|---|
| Cache Memory | 4MB on die Level 2 | A small segment of memory that stores frequently used information for fast access by the processor, improving response time. |
|---|
| System Memory (RAM) | 4GB | The memory a computer uses to run its operating system, applications and active data files. Greater amounts of RAM improve speed and enable more applications to run at once. |
|---|
| System Memory (RAM) Expandable To | Nonexpandable | Maximum amount of memory a computer can support (as opposed to the amount that comes preinstalled). |
|---|
| Type of Memory (RAM) | DDR3L SDRAM | |
|---|
| Hard Drive Type | SATA (5400 rpm) | Hard drives are classified based on the interface they use to connect to a computer. Common interfaces for internal hard drives include EIDE, PATA (also known as, ATA and IDE), SATA and SCSI. Common interfaces for external hard drives include USB 2.0, FireWire and eSATA. |
|---|
| Computer Hard Drive Size | 500GB | Capacity for storing programs, photos, video, music and other electronic information. Hard drive capacities range from a few gigabytes to several hundred. |

| Operating System Platform | Windows | |
|---|
| Operating System | Windows 8 | The master software that controls hardware functions and provides a platform on top of which any software applications will run. Commonly used systems include Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X for computers and Palm OS and Microsoft Windows Mobile for PDAs. |
|---|
| Operating System Bit Version | 64-bit | The terms "32-bit" and "64-bit" refer to the way a computer's processor (CPU) handles information. A 64-bit operating system handles large amounts of system memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system.
Most software programs designed for a 32-bit operating system will work on the 64-bit version, with the exception of many antivirus programs. However, if a program is designed for a 64-bit operating system, it is not backwards-compatible with a 32-bit version.
Device drivers designed for a 32-bit system will not work on computers running a 64-bit operating system. Similarly, drivers designed for a 64-bit system will not work with a 32-bit version. |
